"Many people have compared human history to a tapestry. Every person you know is one thread of that tapestry and they weave in and out of your life in small or large ways as they each become a part of who you are."

"...so all of this is to say, please do carefully consider that there are many different Christian women in many different circumstances who come to your blog. Biblical Womanhood encompasses so much and will look different in many lives. You do have a wonderful opportunity with your blog, but also a tremendous responsibility that you will answer for someday. As a fellow writer and blogger I know this very well. In fact, for a few years I stopped writing for publication because the weight of the responsibility was so heavy on my heart. We who write do teach and will be held accountable."

"Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
And the record's clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago.
There was a time on earth,
When in the book of Heav'n
An old account was standing
For sins yet unforgiv'n;
My name was at the top,
And many things below,
I went unto the keeper,
And settled long ago.

Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
And the record's clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago.
The old account was large,
And growing ev'ry day,
For I was always sinning,
And never tried to pay;
But When I looked ahead,
And saw such pain and woe,
I said that I would settle,
I settled long ago.

Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
And the record's clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago.
When in that happy home,
My Saviour's home above,
I'll sing redemption's story,
And praise Him for His love;
I'll not forget that book,
With pages white as snow,
Because I came and settled,
And settled long ago.

Long ago (down on my knees)
Long ago (I setted it all)
Yes, the old account was settled long ago; (Hallelujah!)
And the record's clear today,
For He washed my sins away,
When the old account was settled long ago."

Johnny Cash in At San Quentin
